Another one might be this one from Andy Lennon. A little easier reading than Simons.

treedog, the one dF shows is far superior in passing pertinent info along with minimum jargon. Simons book is more like a school book, cause you gotta dig for what you want. Both are good books, Andy Lennon is easier to read, but Simons has a lot more info. Get both, you won't regret spending the extra dough for them.
